    DOOA Maru - Why not?

    That's the badger. New link here: Size L works well for the 20cm cube and Size S works well fro Maru pots etc. They are USB driven and I can't remember if they come with a plug, but that doesn't really matter. Also, they bolt into the wooden base so you can change the base if you wish (as I...

    DOOA Maru - Why not?

    It's a one of these: The light on the Mini S is a modified version of the above. It's not as pretty spectrum wise as some of the Twinstar stuff I've got, but it's also a tenth of the price of some of the alternatives. Thanks! Apart from my 60cm cube I only have room/time for small stuff!

    DOOA Maru - Why not?

    18 months later and the cube has matured nicely, the Maru pot is re-planted every few months due to fast growth and I’ve had an SPS dominant reef growing in the same tank for over a year. Plus, I’ve recently set up a soil based Mini S on my bedside and I’m looking to start a UNS 60L on my...

    My new ADA Mini M Desk Aquarium

    Fast-forward 18 months and the scape has changed but is maturing nicely as a blackwater tank on my desk with an upgraded light. My other tanks are coming along too, but I’ll update them on my other thread.

    My new ADA Mini M Desk Aquarium

    I've finally bought an ADA Mini M, a tank I've wanted to use since my first post on here over a decade ago. I remember seeing a tank that Victor Lantos had 'scaped in PFK (I think a George Farmer article?) and I have wanted to try one ever since.Fast-forward ten years and I now have desk space...

    DOOA Maru - Why not?

    So the bad news is that the pico reef didn't survive the summer temperatures and my honeymoon absence. I still have all the equipment and will likely start it up again one day. The good news is that I have rescaped the Maru and bought my first ADA tank from Horizon Aquatics. It's a 20C and I...

    DOOA Maru - Why not?

    Thanks both. I agree with Nick, soft corals are fairly easy to keep. Maintenance on this is 100% water change every 2 weeks or so, check salinity daily and top-off every few days, feed every week with reef-roids powder. The heater is switched off half the time as the pump produces enough heat...

    DOOA Maru - Why not?

    The Maru is going well. A few days in now and the plants are all still green, hope fully in a few more days there will be signs of root growth. It's quite diversely planted so we'll see what thrives and what doesn't in time. Planted with: Hydrocotyle tripartita Myriophyllum guyana Taxiphyllum...

    DOOA Maru - Why not?

    So it’s been a while since I last posted and I’ve learnt quite a lot in the decade in-between. I have a few tanks on the go at the mo, but I’m setting up a new cube tank. As I was checking out I spotted the DOOA Maru at Horizon Aquatics and I impulse bought one. 2 days later it has arrived and...
